BACKGROUND

Human TTK protein kinase (TTK), also known as tyrosine threonine kinase, dual specificity protein kinase TTK, Monopolar Spindle 1 (Mps1) and Phosphotyrosine-Picked Threonine Kinase (PYT), is a conserved multispecific kinase that is capable of phosphorylating serine, threonine and tyrosine residues when expressed in E. coli (Mills et al., J. Biol. Chem. 22(5): 16000-16006 (1992)). TTK mRNA is not expressed in the majority of physiologically normal tissues in human (Id). TTK mRNA is expressed in some rapidly proliferating tissues, such as testis and thymus, as well as in some tumors (for example, TTK mRNA was not expressed in renal cell carcinoma, was expressed in 50% of breast cancer samples, was expressed in testicular tumors and ovarian cancer samples) (Id). TTK is expressed in some cancer cell lines and tumors relative to normal counterparts (Id.; see also WO 02/068444 A1).

Agents which inhibit TTK have the potential to treat cancer. A number of potent TTK inhibitors are disclosed in International Patent Application Publication Nos. WO 2014/075168 and WO 2015/070349 (the entire teachings of which are incorporated herein by reference). One representative TTK inhibitor is N-cyclopropyl-4-(7-((((1s,3s)-3-hydroxy-3-methylcyclobutyl)methyl)amino)-5-(pyridin-3-yloxy)pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-3-yl)-2-methylbenzamide, the structure of which is reproduced below as compound (I):

There is a need for salt forms of this compound that are crystalline and otherwise have physical properties that are amenable to large scale manufacture. There is also a need for pharmaceutical formulations in which this drug candidate is stable and is effectively delivered to the patient.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The present invention provides new solid forms of compound (I), which is N-cyclopropyl-4-(7-((((1s,3s)-3-hydroxy-3-methylcyclobutyl)methyl)amino)-5-(pyridin-3-yloxy)pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-3-yl)-2-methylbenzamide. Specifically, it has been found that compound (I) and phosphoric acid can form a co-crystal under well-defined conditions to provide a non-hygroscopic crystalline form. It has also been found that the 1:1 hydrobromic acid salt of compound (I) can be crystallized under well-defined conditions to provide non-hygroscopic crystalline forms. Both solid forms provide high bioavailability when administered orally.

The term “co-crystal” (or “cocrystal”) refers to a multicomponent system in which there exists a host active pharmaceutical ingredient molecule or molecules (API, e.g., compound (I)) and a guest or co-former molecule or molecules (e.g., phosphoric acid). The API and co-former molecules interact by hydrogen bonding and possibly other non-covalent interactions without ionic interactions and without significant or complete proton exchange occurs between the API molecule and the guest molecule. Also included in the invention are solvates, including hydrates of the disclosed co-crystal. In a co-crystal, both the API molecule and the guest (or co-former) molecule exist as a solid at room temperature when alone in their pure form.

“Solvate form” refers to a solid or a crystalline form of compound (I) in free base or a salt, where a solvent molecule is combined with free base compound (I) or the corresponding salt in a definite ratio (e.g., a molar ratio of compound (I):solvent 1:1 or 1:2) as an integral part of the solid or a crystal. “Unsolvated form” refers to a form which is unsolvated, i.e., no definite ratio between a solvent molecule and the free base of compound (I) or the corresponding salt of compound (I), and the solvent molecule is not substantially (e.g., less that 10% by weight) present in the solid form. Well known solvent molecules include water, methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, and isopropanol. The new solid forms disclosed in the present invention include solvated form or unsolvated form.

As used herein, “crystalline” refers to a solid having a crystal structure wherein the individual molecules have a highly homogeneous regular locked-in chemical configuration. Co-crystal of compound (I) and phosphoric acid can be crystals of a single crystalline form of 1:2 compound (I):phosphoric acid, or a mixture of crystals of different single crystalline forms. A single crystalline form means 1:2 compound (I) phosphoric acid as a single crystal or a plurality of crystals in which each crystal has the same crystal form.

For example, in a particular embodiment, at least 80% (e.g., at least 90% or 99%) by weight of the particular is in a single crystalline form. It is to be understood that all values and ranges between these values and ranges are meant to be encompassed by the present invention.

When a particular percentage by weight of co-crystal of 1:2 compound (I) and phosphoric acid is a single crystalline form, the remainder of the co-crystal is some combination of amorphous compound (I)/phosphoric acid, and/or one or more other crystalline forms of compound (I)/phosphoric acid excluding the single crystalline form.

In 1:2 compound (I) and phosphoric acid co-crystal, compound (I) is at least 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 99% or 99.9% by weight pure relative to the other stereoisomers, i.e., the ratio of the weight of the stereoisomer over the weight of all the stereoisomers.

Crystalline Forms of 1:1 Compound (i) Hydrobromide

For example, in one embodiment, at least 80% (e.g., at least 90% or 99%) by weight of the 1:1 compound (I) hydrobromide is in a single crystalline form. It is to be understood that all values and ranges between these values and ranges are meant to be encompassed by the present invention.

Crystalline 1:1 compound (I) hydrobromide can be crystals of a single crystalline form of 1:1 compound (I) hydrobromide, or a mixture of crystals of different single crystalline forms. A single crystalline form means 1:1 compound (I) hydrobromide as a single crystal or a plurality of crystals in which each crystal has the same crystal form.

Preparation of Crystalline Forms of 1:1 Compound (i) Hydrobromide and Co-Crystal of Compound (i) and Phosphoric Acid

The particular solid forms of 1:1 compound (I) hydrobromide and co-crystal of compound (I) and phosphoric acid can be prepared, for example, by slow evaporation, slow cooling, and antisolvent precipitation.

As used herein, “anti-solvent” refers to a solvent, in which 1:1 compound (I) hydrobromide or co-crystal of compound (I) and phosphoric acid has low solubility and causes the bromide salt or co-crystal to precipitate out of solution in the form of fine powder or crystals.

Alternatively, the 1:1 compound (I) hydrobromide (or compound (I) and phosphoric acid co-crystal) can be recrystallized from a suitable solvent with or without the addition of a seed crystal.

In one embodiment, the present invention provides a method of preparing a co-crystal of compound (I) and phosphoric acid, the method comprising:

mixing a suspension of compound (I) and phosphoric acid in a suitable solvent; and removing the solvent. The suitable solvent includes, but not limited to, acetone, diethyl ether, MeOH/THF, acetic acid and 1,4-dioxane. When MeOH/THF are used in the preparation method, the ratio between the two solvents is 3:2 to 2:3 (V:V).

In one embodiment, the molar ratio between compound (I) and phosphoric acid used in the preparation is 1:2 to 1:8.

In one embodiment, the present invention provides a method of preparing 1:1 compound (I) hydrobromide. Specifically, to a suspension of compound (I) in a suitable solvent (e.g., butanol and/or MEK), was added a solution of HBr (e.g., in a solution of butanol and/or MEK); the mixture was heated at 60° C. for 2 hours and then 5° C. overnight. The solid was then recovered by filtration. The suitable solvent includes, but not limited to, butanol and/or MEK, and/or water.

The preparation of each specific solid form is described in the experimental section below.

Methods of Treatment

Another aspect of the present teachings relates to a method of treating a subject with cancer comprising administering to the subject an effective amount of a co-crystal of compound (I) and phosphoric acid (or a hydrobromide salt of compound (I)) described herein. In one embodiment, the co-crystals (or the hydrobromic acid salts of compound (I)) described herein inhibit the growth of a tumor. For example, the co-crystals (or the hydrobromic acid salts of compound (I)) described herein inhibit the growth of a tumor that overexpresses TTK.

Cancers that can be treated (including reduction in the likelihood of recurrence) by the methods of the present teachings include lung cancer, breast cancer, colon cancer, brain cancer, neuroblastoma, prostate cancer, melanoma, glioblastoma multiform, ovarian cancer, lymphoma, leukemia, melanoma, sarcoma, paraneoplasia, osteosarcoma, germinoma, glioma and mesothelioma. In one embodiment, the cancer is selected from leukemia, acute myeloid leukemia, chronic myelogenous leukemia, breast cancer, brain cancer, colon cancer, colorectal cancer, head and neck cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, lung adenocarcinoma, metastatic melanoma, pancreatic cancer, prostate cancer, ovarian cancer and renal cancer. In one embodiment, the cancer is lung cancer, colon cancer, brain cancer, neuroblastoma, prostate cancer, melanoma, glioblastoma mutiform or ovarian cancer. In another embodiment, the cancer is pancreatic cancer, prostate cancer, lung cancer, melanoma, breast cancer, colon cancer, or ovarian cancer. In yet another embodiment, the cancer is breast cancer, colon cancer and ovarian cancer. In yet another embodiment, the cancer is a breast cancer. In yet another embodiment, the cancer is a basal sub-type breast cancer or a luminal B sub-type breast cancer. In yet another embodiment, the cancer is a basal sub-type breast cancer that overexpresses TTK. In yet another embodiment, the basal sub-type breast cancer is ER (estrogen receptor), HER2 and PR (progesterone receptor) negative breast cancer. In yet another embodiment, the cancer is a soft tissue cancer. A “soft tissue cancer” is an art-recognized term that encompasses tumors derived from any soft tissue of the body. Such soft tissue connects, supports, or surrounds various structures and organs of the body, including, but not limited to, smooth muscle, skeletal muscle, tendons, fibrous tissues, fatty tissue, blood and lymph vessels, perivascular tissue, nerves, mesenchymal cells and synovial tissues. Thus, soft tissue cancers can be of fat tissue, muscle tissue, nerve tissue, joint tissue, blood vessels, lymph vessels, and fibrous tissues. Soft tissue cancers can be benign or malignant. Generally, malignant soft tissue cancers are referred to as sarcomas, or soft tissue sarcomas. There are many types of soft tissue tumors, including lipoma, lipoblastoma, hibernoma, liposarcoma, leiomyoma, leiomyosarcoma, rhabdomyoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, neurofibroma, schwannoma (neurilemoma), neuroma, malignant schwannoma, neurofibrosarcoma, neurogenic sarcoma, nodular tenosynovitis, synovial sarcoma, hemangioma, glomus tumor, hemangiopericytoma, hemangioendothelioma, angiosarcoma, Kaposi sarcoma, lymphangioma, fibroma, elastofibroma, superficial fibromatosis, fibrous histiocytoma, fibrosarcoma, fibromatosis, dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP), malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH), myxoma, granular cell tumor, malignant mesenchymomas, alveolar soft-part sarcoma, epithelioid sarcoma, clear cell sarcoma, and desmoplastic small cell tumor. In a particular embodiment, the soft tissue cancer is a sarcoma selected from the group consisting of a fibrosarcoma, a gastrointestinal sarcoma, a leiomyosarcoma, a dedifferentiated liposarcoma, a pleomorphic liposarcoma, a malignant fibrous histiocytoma, a round cell sarcoma, and a synovial sarcoma.

As used herein, “treating a subject with a cancer” includes achieving, partially or substantially, one or more of the following: arresting the growth, reducing the extent of the cancer (e.g., reducing size of a tumor), inhibiting the growth rate of the cancer, ameliorating or improving a clinical symptom or indicator associated with the cancer (such as tissue or serum components) or increasing longevity of the subject; and reducing the likelihood of recurrence of the cancer.

As used herein, the term “reducing the likelihood of recurrence of a cancer” means partially or totally inhibiting, delaying the return of a cancer at or near a primary site and/or at a secondary site after a period of remission. It also means that the cancer is less likely to return with treatment described herein than in its absence.

As used herein, the term “remission” refers to a state of cancer, wherein the clinical symptoms or indicators associated with a cancer have disappeared or cannot be detected, typically after the subject has been successfully treated with an anti-cancer therapy.

Generally, an effective amount of a compound taught herein varies depending upon various factors, such as the given drug or compound, the pharmaceutical formulation, the route of administration, the type of disease or disorder, the identity of the subject or host being treated, and the like, but can nevertheless be routinely determined by one skilled in the art. An effective amount of a compound of the present teachings may be readily determined by one of ordinary skill by routine methods known in the art.

The term an “effective amount” means an amount when administered to the subject which results in beneficial or desired results, including clinical results, e.g., inhibits, suppresses or reduces the cancer (e.g., as determined by clinical symptoms or the amount of cancer cells) in a subject as compared to a control.

In an embodiment, an effective amount of 1:1 compound (I) hydrobromide (or compound (I) and phosphoric acid co-crystal) ranges from about 0.01 to about 1000 mg/kg body weight. The skilled artisan will appreciate that certain factors may influence the dosage required to effectively treat a subject suffering from cancer and these factors include, but are not limited to, the severity of the disease or disorder, previous treatments, the general health and/or age of the subject and other diseases present.

Moreover, a “treatment” regime of a subject with an effective amount of the compound of the present invention may consist of a single administration, or alternatively comprise a series of applications. For example, the 1:1 compound (I) hydrobromide (or compound (I) and phosphoric acid co-crystal) may be administered at least once a week. However, in another embodiment, the compound may be administered to the subject from about one time per week to once daily for a given treatment. The length of the treatment period depends on a variety of factors, such as the severity of the disease, the age of the patient, the concentration and the activity of the compounds of the present invention, or a combination thereof. It will also be appreciated that the effective dosage of the compound used for the treatment or prophylaxis may increase or decrease over the course of a particular treatment or prophylaxis regime. Changes in dosage may result and become apparent by standard diagnostic assays known in the art. In some instances, chronic administration may be required.

A “subject” is a mammal, preferably a human, but can also be an animal in need of veterinary treatment, e.g., companion animals (e.g., dogs, cats, and the like), farm animals (e.g., cows, sheep, pigs, horses, and the like) and laboratory animals (e.g., rats, mice, guinea pigs, and the like).

The compounds of the invention can be administered to a patient in a variety of forms depending on the selected route of administration, as will be understood by those skilled in the art. The compounds of the invention may be administered, for example, by oral, parenteral, buccal, sublingual, nasal, rectal, patch, pump or transdermal administration and the pharmaceutical compositions formulated accordingly. Parenteral administration includes intravenous, intraperitoneal, subcutaneous, intramuscular, transepithelial, nasal, intrapulmonary, intrathecal, rectal and topical modes of administration. Parenteral administration can be by continuous infusion over a selected period of time.

Sample analysis was carried out with the help of CALISTO software, where the corresponding mass loss and temperatures of thermal events were quoted as the onset temperature, measured according to the manufacturer's specifications. All analyses were carried out with a heating rate of 10° C./min and background was subtracted.

Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC)

1-4 mg of material was weighted into an aluminum DSC pan and sealed non-hermetically with an aluminum lid. The sample pan was then loaded into a TA Instruments Q2000 (equipped with a cooler). Once a stable heat-flow response was obtained at 35° C., the sample and reference were heated to 300° C. at a rate of 10° C./min and the resulting heat flow response was monitored. Prior to analysis, the instrument was temperature and heat-flow calibrated using an indium reference standard. Sample analysis was carried out with the help of TA Universal Analysis 2000 software where the temperatures of thermal events were quoted as the onset and peak temperature, measured according to the manufacturer's specifications.

¹H-Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (¹H-NMR)

Nuclear magnetic resonance measurements were recorded on a Bruker Avance DRX 400 instrument at 400 MHz and rt, using DMSO-d₆ or CD₃OD as solvent without internal standard.

¹⁵N-Solid State Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (¹⁵N-ssNMR)

Example 1: Combinatorial Salt Screen

A salt screen was performed using six solvents (H₂O, DMSO, 1,4-dioxane, acetic acid, MeOH/THF (1:1), 1-BuOH/MEK 1:1, and NMP) and twelve pharmaceutically acceptable acids (HCl, HBr, H₃PO₄, H₂SO₄, pTSA, BSA, naphthalene sulfonic acid, ethane sulfonic acid, methane sulfonic acid, ethane disulfonic acid, L-maleic acid, and 2-aminosulfonic acid).

The acids were charged to compound (I) (15 mg, solution or slurry in a given solvent) either as solids or as a 10% solution in the appropriate solvent. For all solvents except NMP, acid-base ratios of 1.05:1 and 2.2:1 were employed. For experiments with NMP experiments only the 2.2:1 molar ratio was used. The resulting solutions were aged at RT overnight. Solids were harvested and analyzed. The remaining solutions were either cooled or treated with anti-solvent. If no precipitation occurred after the cooling/anti-solvent treatments, the solutions were vacuum dried. Finally, all recovered solids were placed in a climate chamber at 40° C. and 75% RH for 5 days and reanalyzed. Suitable solvent and counterion combinations were then revaluated for salt formation with compound (I) at an increased scale.

Crystalline material was obtained with eleven of the twelve counterions examined. Experiments with 2-aminosulfonic acid resulted only in recovery of free base material. Multiple crystalline forms were obtained from HCl, methanesulfonic acid, ethane disulfonic acid and p-TSA experiments. Stress testing resulted in conversion to additional crystalline forms, indicating a propensity for polymorphism. Salts obtained from maleic acid experiments were solvated, of low crystallinity and decomposed during DSC analysis. Salts obtained from naphthalene sulfonic acid, benzene sulfonic acid and sulfuric acid were highly hygroscopic.

Crystalline material obtained from experiments with hydrobromic acid and phosphoric acid were shown to have increased solubility relative to free base, low hygroscopicity and were stable under stressed conditions (40° C./75%, RH, 80° C., ambient light for 7 days). Both solid forms were degraded under oxidative stress (3% aq. H₂O₂). The properties of each isolated crystalline form are outline in Table 1.

The precipitate then filtered, washed with acetone (20 mL) and dried at 4° C./10 mbar. The solid obtained was further characterized as a bisphosphate hemihydrate by TGA, XRPD, DSC, ¹H NMR, solid state ¹⁵N NMR, IR, Raman, and single crystal X-ray crystallography.

Method B: a solution of H₃PO₄ (494.7 g, 4 equiv) in MeOH/THF (10.5 ml, 1:1 v/v) was added to a vial containing compound (I) (506.88 mg, 1 equiv). The resulting mixture was stirred at rt until a yellow solution was obtained. The solution was allowed to evaporate at 50° C. and atmospheric pressure under stirring with the aid of a vortex. A yellow gel was obtained and acetone was then added (15 mL) and let to vortex at rt for 1 d. The slurry was let to stir for additional 3 d.

Single crystal X-ray crystallography data of the phosphate complex of compound (I) indicates that each unit cell contains 2 molecules of Compound (I), 4 molecules of phosphoric acid and 1 molecule of water. The hydrogen bonds within the complex all measure between 2.5-2.9 Å, indicating that there is no ionic character observed between phosphoric acid protons and the basic nitrogen of the pyridine ring. This result is consistent with observations from solid state ¹⁵N-NMR. Taken together, these results confirm the form of Compound (I) bisphosphate hemihydrate as a co-crystal complex. The crystallographic data for Compound (I) bisphosphate hemihydrate is presented in Table 3. The ORTEP representation is presented in FIG. 4.

Solid state ¹⁵N-NMR analysis was performed on Compound (I) free base and Compound (I) bisphosphate hemihydrate. Superimposed spectra are presented in FIG. 3. The shift and relative intensity of the pyridine nitrogen peak in the phosphate compound relative to the free base indicates the nature of the interaction between the atoms is hydrogen bonding and does not possess ionic character. No proton transfer to pyridyl nitrogen was discerned, thus confirming the phosphate is a co-crystal.

Compound (I) bisphosphate hemihydrate can also be generated by crystallization of amorphous or semi-crystalline co-crystal of compound (I) and H₃PO₄ using the conditions shown in Table 4. Alternatively, crystallization of the viscous gel can be induced to give Compound (I) bisphosphate hemihydrate by depositing the gel along with small amount of solids on a larger glass surface and scratching it with a spatula. Also, the gel can be crystallized by sonication.
